Hi All, 

Please could someone confirm if an apprentice can change employer once they have passed through gateway?

Hi Sophie,

No I haven't but I think it is relatively safe (in line with the funding rules etc) that provided the apprentice is employed for the duration of the apprenticeship until EPA completion there can be a change of employer after gateway. However it is very admin heavy at such a late stage in the apprenticeship and new agreements and contracts will need to be issued as well as significant changes to DAS and the ILR.

At this point only 80% of funding will have been drawn down so it may be tricky, depending on the standard and any qualifications attached to get the new employer to fund the remaining 20% and sign the necessary paperwork.

Best wishes

Hello  - did you ever get anywhere with this?
I've got a lovely (little) list of queries relating to learners who have moved emp or been made redundant AFTER they entered Gateway.
My query is - can an Employment History Line be dated AFTER the AED?  so long as its before the AchDate?  Do we just code these in the same way as a normal CHOC or does the learner have to been withdrawn back to AED and re-enrolled?

thanks
